As a member of the department faculty for 20 years, Professor James G. Clark taught generations of CEE students from 1936 to 1956. He provided structural engineering consulting on projects throughout the state of Illinois and beyond, including the Chesapeake Bay Bridge and the College of Law building on the University of Illinois campus. When he left the department to pursue a consulting career, Clark founded a prominent civil engineering consulting firm, Clark-Dietz. Not done building his legacy, Clark left Clark-Dietz in 1981 and became a key founder and sustaining supporter of ESCA Consultants, a civil and structural engineering firm located in Urbana, Ill., where he worked until his retirement in 1989. Additional gifts needed to fully realize this space.
